So you would infringe upon my First Amendment right because you disagree with what I say. Of course the only speech that is free is the kind that EV agrees with. That's real liberty...

Have you ever seen someone burn an American flag as a form of 'speech' that wasn't a radical Leftist (read communist) or an Islamist?

They despise our country, and everything it stands for.

It's a treasonous act.

Matter of fact, yes I have. Neither a communist or an Islamist.

Actually the person that did this doesn't despise 'our country' but he disagreed what he felt it has come to stand for. I didn't agree with the burning but I also recognized his right to burn it

It's a treasonous act.

'Conservatives' love to throw around the word treason and all you do is cheapen the word. It was not treasonous, it just was. As I said say your pledges and wave your flags. Just don't bother me with stupid requirements to pay certain homage to a piece of cloth

You think Flag burning rises to the level of Treason? I thank God your opinions are the exact opposite from what our Founding Fathers put in the Constitution.

The Founding Fathers would think your position a much higher threat to the Republic than flag burning.

It is totally disgusting but it is not treason.
